the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news makers. at our that's take a look at the main headlines down here and the future of the arctic is seen by eating ecologists and politicians as the burning issue in moscow experts brainstorm ways to explore and extract the region's remove which is the form is focusing on how to protect the seabed and want to exploit its potential fosters of cats. getting in the right direction and pushing for teamwork on the sidelines of new assembly nato and russia say they're on a solid off to better cooperation as they discuss a joint missile defense project. you are going to present your own people three autistic dr no brainy and president mahmoud ahmadinejad's arrived in new york is

mobbed by protests while some are pulling out all the stops to trade him as the enemy of us all questioning the costs of the camp. but up next we get an inside look of what it's like to work for the most wanted man on earth song i've been not the man that an ottoman reveals what was happening behind the scenes and why he's now encouraging extremists to give up violence. i'm in london today saying whether a leopard really can change its spots i'm talking to no man but not who is a former senior leader of the libyan islamic fighting group he spent several years with bin laden in afghanistan and in siege on in the one nine hundred ninety s. but he now advises on counting extremism for the quilliam foundation in london mr bennett meant thank you very much for talking to r.t.

now you maintain that you strongly discouraged just alban knowledge and from going ahead with the september eleventh attacks what do you think has been the net result of those attacks for muslims all over the world i think it's. it's a total chaos and disaster the outcome is it's negative for you take it from a muslim perspective i don't believe it's helping the muslims which was set up is based on this if you like strategy he said i would like to break the hold was the board so i believe one very important issue here blood and he said he would like to talk to defeat the enemy of islam and at the time he labeled the us as the head of peace like a coalition against us now but now he's ended up fighting every single muslim country how do you think that's happened yeah i think this is the problem when you can't maintain the difference between strategy and tactics and you start to take over to compile your tactics this is what's happened and this is one of the explanation why and i heavily laden like terrorist activities because the flaws the

strategy i don't believe whatsoever to have a strategy running up to september eleventh what was the mood like in the inner circle we used to talk about the exclusion of the war itself against the us and the west we are aware like that he's going to escalate the war after the after the i think the ninety eight. attack against the the two u.s. embassies in east africa so that was the main. argument about about you need to stop you have to stop this war because it's going to like chaos and disaster and muslims and afghanistan specifically but he insists that the time like he has like one operation he cannot cancel it now because it's too late and he said it's going to demoralize ization he should carry on and then he said after that he will really really try to do his best to stop the war using grandstand like as the pace for his strategy to attack the world but by then it was too late right bin laden vastly

underestimated the response of the u.s. to september eleventh so they never ever imagined retaliation or the way how the u.s. going to retaliate or to respond to attack but he was born myself and the people we want him like if you attack the homeland it's going to be really really very very tough. response from the u.s. and i remember i told him and already it's not going to afghanistan the u.s. will try to dominate the whole region let's go back into history for a moment because you fought with and are proud of having fought with them what you had seen in afghanistan against the soviet union how much do you know about links between them which had seen at the cia at the time from the muslim perspective the war it's not against russia which the exist country now it was against communism even the soviet union muslims being provoked because of communism you know it's

a problematic issue even in the. muslim countries and the worst because you know communism used to be labeled like religion until you muslim christian or jew so it's very important like the ideological motivation how muslims. like to go on fire there but i know it was within the context of the cold war between the soviets. union and the u.s. so the mujahideen and when they fought there if you take it from the ever growing in perspective you know it's just a country being invaded and as i told you from a muslim perspective it was like by the power of god and to religion it's very this is this is the main if you like argument behind this in the muslim muslim world so then there's the element politics which is like the whole war if you like that all but the western world and the muslim countries the course and they support the war

against the soviet union so when we went there we are fully aware of the political context. not me. but the main issue here does that our agenda or not this is the main issue so if you ask me i didn't go there to hold the u.s. or the cia or i wanted to help most is there to help the afghan people against an ideology of believe it's real to islam i know the cia involved with the war but i would like just to ask him if he can give us a single evidence or just one evidence that at the time there's a direct communication or link between the cia and the i can assure you it's very hard to prove that and even with the afghan mujahideen themselves you know there used to be seven parts of about i am aware the dealing with the pakistani intelligence service. so even themselves didn't do the deal directly as sometimes

there's a meeting but but used to control every single issue especially like the military stuff emissions fund it's all it has to go to. afghanistan and why we talk about the cia a soldier or b. as a muslim country and one of the leading muslim countries in the world every participated at the time on the war so here we have a very simple powerful muslim country involved in the war where you are receiving weapons from the u.s. no it's not talk about the out of when we were there. we just get the weapons if you ask me of my own experience it's from two main parties you know i am my personal experience here i thought that i didn't have any now what he's very famous because of what so-called. weapons used to be from his like from his commanders and people who are on the frontline and from. as well. we are libyans we used to cooperate with him a lot so it's that if you talk about my own i believe if you ask any single arab or

muslim you know he's not the guy and he participate in the jihad he will give you the name of a local commander so you never directly met any cia representative in afghanistan i've never ever seen anyone there. for a minute i've seen either don't know this or once it happened like the you after the horst battle which is very famous one i was there but they did you know see like people from the u.s. they are from different countries. and they entered the city to stop to give help to the locals i'm like yes but i've never ever seen any like or even pakistani i've never ever seen any books thing for sure where but you know but it was like very supportive to the d.n.c. i think it's a myth to see even the level of forbearance you know if you like to go down very deep but as you see all the women it was a soviet made you know it's like the eastern bloc you're still very proud of the time you spent in afghanistan now the u.s.

is the invading force that what's the difference between those two conflicts in most of the muslim scholars in the world. they have a different point if you will now from the war what's going on what's the been delivered as if it's a civil war you know muslims be killing each other despite the presence of america . or you're going to break away from that now and return to our top story the international arctic forum in moscow where russia's prime minister but then at thirteen is addressing the meeting let's listen to what he has to say just give options by the russians or graphics or safety to be frank we didn't expect such attention such interest on the side of dollar of your partner which is not natural but it was you know you wholeheartedly responded to our suggestion that these discussions behind when it was so much let me remind you that it was our intention to convene this conference in april of this year but al planes were changed because of the russian or the

highest one in the world can know which is very difficult to pronounce in russian and i won't attempt to go through that. during those days the soul is a she once again felt how much it depends on the the cities of nature but we took a fresh view of many global problems a little. everyone is well aware of those problems every person doing everything of being aware of them but after that full count eruption i believe every one of us felt how much dependent from we are on nature how great your own nature is and how small humankind has turned us into its give it a likelihood the object with. nature and therefore the right channel egger system that leaves a way very clean the treasury of the ground and here the funny here we see all the little stories of that have to do with human influence i mean you can whine about

all that there are many controversial issues but it's much better many would have to discuss any mobilization that would tells you how many because you're just there for the states and let the already have a certain experience where you do not need to bear special responsibility here and among those states is no doubt our country to the russian with a larger wish that russia was never great is the only issue and ideally hard to see if you can get back in the eleven same cherry tree and every sane sherry after there if you see really really marseille roots were discovered only in english church way of going to even like a huge russian territories are in the yard of your ship i salute you and what is more there is russia is just beginning not the country more than seventy percent of our territory is in the northern regions just imagine that seventy percent of your time is already forwarded geographically and his trust by the geography of the bit

at the vase us with the problem is we agree need to explore even though much of that land to none of the exploring you know than see europe. you know what we buy all of the major for the a polar fleet of color. and we have established a network on the truth stations in directly where we need to experience old building major city is industrial centers right in the median. arctic region perhaps it was done not always written in a well thought out way engine and not always economical substantiated and by the way they suggest we are incentives not to be unequivocally positive and sometimes when we do we accept my surely counsel mantra. and that we take into account all those mistakes that we know plans for the future let billy point out our major problems of the new york state almost were talking about the creation of

comfort conditions for people to leave here much as regret and to be very careful both of the traditions and ways of life all for the you can be generous people i guess there are just uniqueness should be respected at the end we think about a lot of the social network the formation of information an alarm second look we had to sort of force to work on new points for economic growth and to have to attract major foreign minister and domestic investments variation letters threshold so that you know every you got told projects none of the russian federation will be implemented only taking into account the most strict environmental requirements of our of the various three major guidelines we will you know probably guidelines when exploring the room openings are let you have the top one guest field and in our development working with. in hundreds of other industrial sites and you soldiers

that are being established either by posting that you know while the injuries can see good luck to you or the prognosis of the experts. you can fifty years times are good you could become a major source of energy and. transportation a couple of the planet but the price of character issue is much higher than really billions of or oil or gas to release of barrels of oil and gas that we can produce to extract from the region and pretend that there is a storage to make it work without being responsible over the edge of the arctic to morrow we can be confronted not with global advantages but rather with global partners just therefore we've got to shift our primary objectives now the prime objective. here is to introduce an extradition of some say to the art technology that can be can work with and operating over many within asia russia suggests that when exited for active exchange of ideas and practical ideas that you build

a stable that will help us sure act together to find a best possible technology in the exploration maybe the future our third priority areas you know investment major finance in the environmental protection and scientific areas we plan to have a major cleanup in the arctic with literally speaking in the primitive sense of the word clean up but you just well you have to clean out the mess that. has been created for taking gates in the wall at the military facilities and industrial facilities everyone trying to reach an island say and i know that in the winter soldier look see at the same time the number of national parks will be increasing right here we'll have new national parks on the new noise i'm not archipelago yesterday one of our guests soren from so when i asked me to do it here about the

territorial. park and let me tell you the total territory of that park is more than one and a half million hectares of well perhaps it is as big a territory as the state of monaco itself i mean when i got. so obviously because to make a living in cooperation with our unlike during your colleagues where working on the possibility to create a national park to reach a conclusion which we also learn to enhance our scientific equations sitting there are daily if you're doing your. fundamental research to come on the show including those conducted by international teams of experts and scientists like your the recent research that such a forum where is goes russian and german experts working together and i was surprised by their love for science so we're going with a live. you know that region of my living very difficult situation difficult

conditions but they don't even notice those conditions of course we will never help them by all means or sorry but the words if they do to get a story important and we know for sure of course we're planning to taber the potential scientific potential all that universities of russia that have to do transitions of successful arctic concern which i know to provide and interests of an impulse to make the national corporations and we are unique we may or originating the idea of that in an international polar year dedicated to fusion the central idea for that project will be the exploration of global problem of a three climate change and other problems that have to do directly with the arctic you should get a college that is well known in the region which means that it's secure if you stand alone you cannot survive in the arterials very difficult alone nature itself so it was makes people and states to help each other but in two thousand and eight

we bring you know where we are in russia adopted the guidelines for state policy in the arctic region but that document from your ladyship our national interests in very clear mannerable which will you will know but as you know we are taking care of the sustainable bells will be the arctic region and at same time to develop our ties always our neighbors in the north so we believe it is very important to maintain the arctic as a region for peace and cooperation or to just give me on our our completely argue as to be a platform. to get our friends with genuine partnership in the security area science and technology is there and i'm thrilled when close to our cultures were happy to see that our partners shared this. and that this is a test of triage between a little difficult to bite. international structures requiring sir and your arctic

council you don't know we simply rush it i completed this with at least two years of chemistry next president for that organization if we try to make the best possible use of all of that time and implemented by all of our plans to go through me no major integrations i can show. something that is represented by god people council which is a central generation that deals with the preservation of the arctic environment and the democratic sustainable development we appreciate the support by our colleagues of our initiatives incremented within the framework of the council and i'm referring primarily to the bush legal conclusion on the first. agreement for international search and rescue operations we worked on this document it was now on in korean it's a practical phase these are very early concrete implementation of the idea of good neighborly relations really are to stop but at the same time we unfortunately see the facts of other nature and some futuristic prognosis of forecasts being made

about the future battles over arctic we fully know very closely the developments in this area and we make a promotional ourselves and we clearly see that most of such from the. worst case scenarios are not substantiated story day i designed cool of a while among the states to extract some approaches from that would be worthy of it or the fish into trouble what it was the will of course is really very cross-section of our seriously injure political interests there actually are but i have no doubt that the existing problems including the problem of this. can be resolved through part ensured through negotiations that are based on the existing international you see you know the loathing norm is huge as an example let me see. there were signature by russia in no way an agreement on the seed elimination

delineation at sea world just to be in the arctic region and in the part of easy to get those were very difficult negotiations and usually they went on for decades you can sometimes knew you were good but when they were bumped down you know but a creature eventually the way out was found in the tree the agreement was concluded that's why i believe this is a very good example with companies indicating their use ability of achieving a compromise acceptable to oversize to all the parties disputed and this example shows that all the largest in the world you know if he'd want to achieve the result . we travelled there it was a groove on the toes there are just requires that human balanced and well thought out decisions and solutions and mutual destruction with a major role has to be played by the commute eric operation no we are acting together we have to lose three four new uniforms for cooperation to expand

international contract is in mine she people among are still seems signed to snatch national museums and if you like the russian jet russian society together with the russian national library and the presidential library what we write it on there i mean working on the project that would cut the high to electronic memory of the arctic these are the. joint resources to combine big knowledge with all of the history of the article region about the not likely region really and that the city of this really should therefore will be joined by all the members of the larger community like will switch on and tell their kids were conducted up you know all alone in the regions where you are attempting to popularize to advance the image of arctic ice but still in recently an english teacher woman who had an international. the only video in fact i was remodeling your flooring las and in

moscow with the support all legal if it were not an n.s.a. national region we will tell you that a pair that. is not a film festival devoted to the argument regarding. this here. representative story from many countries of the willing i present who are fully aware of the importance of their outlook when you're forty three or your civilization you'll see this as an area for cooperation and dialogue with your diverse only really i'm pretty sure you're probably averse a tiler approaches to the resolution of the usual problems and service there are ways for a corporation among the states in the engineer that is being our should we know about it in the finalists if they made the future of their act it will be a problem is resolved by our willingness to lose together for sure which

responses to join challenges let me once again thank you for your engaged participation in this forum and i wish everyone every success and now joint work thank you for your thank you. so there we have it that was prime minister vladimir putin addressing international form in moscow now he started off by saying that the russian navigators have an exploring the region since the eleventh century so we're staking a claim there back from history he also said huge russian territories are in the arctic and the arctic could become a major source of energy referring of course to the perceived oil and gas reserves in the region we did make it clear i want to make the point that any exploration have to be done in harmony with nature with the strictest environmental laws and towards the end he also mentioned how russia and norway have already settled a long running dispute over territorial waters in the barents sea which is jason it
